Train 4 Autism
Running for Jake and Josh
http://train4autism.kintera.org/runningforjakeandjosh
My name is Denise and I have two awesome nephews named Jake and Josh. They have autism. My sister is the most wonderful mom - I am in awe of her!
I run in hopes to bring awareness to the needs for more funding for autism. Not only for research so that we can cure the disorder for good - but also money to help families who need help now. Some insurance companies do not pay for all of the needs for the autistic person, including much needed early-intervention therapies. Some parents must stop working in order to care for their children, and making ends meet becomes really hard.
I've been blessed beyond measure with such an awesome family. I hope you will help me help the Autism Society bless others as well.
